GatheringThe Holy Spirit calls us together as the people of God.

Welcome to worship at Incarnation Lutheran Church! As we gather in this hour of worship in the very presence of our Lord, we invite you to join with us in singing the liturgy and the hymns, to listen to the words of the proclamation of the gospel through the sermon, and to receive the forgiveness of sin and strength to serve others through the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Children are welcome! We believe they enhance the gathering of the Kingdom of God for us; however, if you would feel more comfortable, a nursery is provided in the CDC building if needed. We encourage parents to teach your children how to worship by helping them follow the order of worship in the bulletin. We ask that all electronic devices be silenced during this time of worship. This is to allow you and all to worship reverently. Again, welcome to worship!
